Love the substance

 Let my focus

Be on you

Not my

Own grievance

My own desires

My own timing

For I know not

Why I can’t 

Wait on your goodness

In what’s to come

And right now

Presently 

Be content

Where 

I’m at now

There is 

A reason 

For every season

Even the waiting ones


My life 

Is not a 

Social media reel

With endless smiles

And designer bags

It’s a hard slog

One that 

Isn’t at completion

By a long mile


I’m learning again

Not the prettiest 

Picture painted

But it’s 

The most authentic


In a society

That desires

Style over 

Substance

Here 

We are

The substance

No matter

How much

The truth hurts

  5. This really hits deep. It's so refreshing to hear someone choose substance over the "social media reel" life.
